German scientists dug 50 meters underground and discovered small pieces of copper. After studying these pieces for a long time, Germany announced that the ancient Germans 25,000 years ago had a nation-wide telephone network.
Naturally, the British government was not that easily impressed. They ordered their own scientists to dig even deeper. 100 meters down, they found small pieces of glass, and they soon announced that the ancient Brits 35,000 years ago already had a nation-wide fibre net.
Israeli scientists were outraged. They dug 50, 100 and 200 meters underground, but found absolutely nothing...
They concluded that the ancient Hebrews 55,000 years ago had cellular telephones.

A rural Frenchman was on trial for killing his wife when
he found her with a neighbor. Upon being asked why he shot
her instead of her lover, he replied,
'Ah, m'sieur, is it not better to shoot a woman once than a
different man every week?'

An aging man lived alone in Ireland. His only son was in Long Kesh
Prison and he didn't know anyone who would spade up his potato garden.
The old man wrote to his son about it and received this reply. 'For
Heavens SAKES, don't dig up that garden, that's where I buried the
GUNS!
At 4 A.M. the next morning a dozen British soldiers showed up and dug up
the entire garden, but didn't find any guns. Confused the man wrote to
his son telling him what happened and asking him what to do next. His
son's reply was: 'Just plant your potatoes.'

The truth about men:
1. The nice men are ugly.
2. The handsome men are not nice.
3. The handsome and nice men are gay.
4. The handsome, nice, and heterosexual men are married.
5. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men, have no money.
6. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men with money think we are only after their money.
7. The handsome men without money are after our money.
8. The handsome men, who are not so nice and somewhat heterosexual, don't think we are beautiful enough.
9. The men who think we are beautiful, that are heterosexual, somewhat nice and have no money, are cowards.
10. The men who are somewhat handsome, somewhat nice and have money and thank God are straight, are shy and NEVER MAKE THE FIRST MOVE!
11. The men who never make the first move, automatically lose interest in us when we take the initiative.

Good one, 1,2,3 heard that before, Never knew about 10.
Truth about women..
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure that she carries,
or the way she combs her hair
true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes because, that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!

Is there light at the end of the tunnel?
by Rohini Hensman
After a seemingly endless series of events that made all decent Sri Lankans hang their heads in shame, there is at last something to make us feel proud of our country. The majority report of the panel set up to advise the All Party Representative Committee is impressive not only in its thoroughness and professionalism, but also in its ability to suggest creative solutions to the problems that have plagued us for so long.
Of course it is, as yet, only a draft it would need to be revised in consultation with the people most affected by the measures it proposes before it can be finalised. With respect to the North-East, for example, an option would have to be chosen and fine-tuned through discussion with the people currently living in that part of the country, as well as refugees and Internally Displaced People (including the Muslims who were driven from the North over sixteen years ago) who wish to return to their homes there. And the proposed Bill of Rights would have to be elaborated to guarantee that the human rights and civil liberties of people of all communities are protected in all parts of the country.
However, even in its present form, with the points in the Annexure on protection of human rights, humanitarian measures, and promoting the use of Tamil as an official language with immediate effect, the document could be presented to the public for discussion. If the government were to accept it as the basis for a solution to the long-standing grievances of the Tamil-speaking minority in the country, the LTTE would be wiped out politically in a few years, as it would then be obvious to everyone that it has nothing to offer Tamils in Sri Lanka. The UNP has indicated that it would support the government in this course of action, making it completely viable. The war could be ended, peace and prosperity could ensue. But will the President and government head towards the light? Or will they turn round and head back into the tunnel?
The Significance of the Majority Report
The importance of this report, authored by six Sinhalese, four Tamils and one Muslim, is immense. It proves that the war that has plagued our country for decades is NOT a war between Sinhalese and Tamils. It proves that where there is a commitment to democracy, people of all communities can work together for a common cause. It shows that the primary struggle is one between democracy and fascism, and then there is a secondary struggle between Sinhala fascists and Tamil fascists. While the latter are locked in struggle against each other, they are united in their attempts to sabotage a democratic solution.
